Biography
Saad Abdulreshid was born in 1978 in Khamis Mushait, Asir Province, in Saudi Arabia. In 1982 his family moved to Sidero in the Calabria region of southern Italy, hoping to get a better living. Abdulreshid graduated from school there, and decided to go to college in Rome. However, in 1998 he dropped out of college and decided to go to Afghanistan to join a training camp for al-Qaeda members. Abdulreshid was trained to use AK-47s and C4s, and he fought against the US Army in central Afghanistan during the Afghan War. Abdulreshid later travelled to Somalia, where he planned to lay low and escape the Americans. However, Abdulreshid came back on the grid when he was arrested in Italy for planning a terrorist attack on a bus in Vicenza near the US outpost at Caserma Ederle. Abdulreshid was later released due to lack of evidence and fled to Somalia again. On 4 October 2012, he was killed when his truck was blown up in a Transitional Federal Government (TFG) attack near Mogadishu.
